I have code that at one place ends up with a list of data frames which I really want to convert to a single big data frame.
I got some pointers from an earlier question which was trying to do something similar but more complex.
Here's an example of what I am starting with (this is grossly simplified for illustration):
listOfDataFrames <- vector(mode = "list", length = 100)
for (i in 1:100) {
listOfDataFrames[[i]] <- data.frame(a=sample(letters, 500, rep=T),
b=rnorm(500), c=rnorm(500))
}
I am currently using this:
df <- do.call("rbind", listOfDataFrames)
Use bind_rows()
from the dplyr package:
bind_rows(list_of_dataframes, .id = "column_label")
